Product InformatIon
MINOX MACROSCOPE™
The long and the short of it !
With this powerful mini-telescope with superb macro everything is clear.
Highly innovative and showing all the classic
technical capabilities of the MINOX company
is the best way to describe the MINOX Macro-
scope™. This unique compact miniature
telescope, measuring just 92 x57x44 mm that
fits neatly into the palm of the hand, gives the
user not only high optical performance but an
extremely close-focus distance of only 35cm.
In combination with the 8x magnification,
the MINOX MS 8x25 Macroscope™ allows a
close-up detailed study of all kinds of subjects
and objects, ensuring that the user can even
observe wildlife and insects in great detail at
close range without disturbing them. Enter
the world of macro with a highly portable and
compact mini-telescope!
The short and compact telescope body, de-
signed by Volkswagen-Design, is destined
to meet many other demands put on it also.
With a field of view of more than 114 m, the
compact MINOX Macroscope™ is just at home
being used as a ‚normal‘ telescope, just as you
would a full sized ‘scope. Viewing a historical
tower on a sight-seeing trip or big events in
a stadium or concert hall, the new compact
Macroscope™ is ideal. It also has the added
advantage of being handy and easy to use for
partially sighted people.
The lens diameter of 25 mm combined
with its innovative optical system
and high quality multi layer coating
of the optics, ensures bright images
with high contrast and accurate colour
rendition under all conditions.
Despite its lightweight, around 150 grams, the
Macroscope™ features tough rubber armou-
ring to protect against everyday wear and tear
and along with a special sealing technique is
internally purged with specialArgon gas to not
only minimise internal corrosion and prevent
internal fogging during quick temperature or
humidity changes, it also ensures that it re-
mains waterproof in bad weather conditions
and even in water down to 5 metres. For those
who wear spectacles, the full field of view
is visible due to the extended exit pupil. The
twist-up/twist down eyecup is an important
feature for both spectacle and non-spectacle
wearing users.
The MINOX Macroscope™ comes complete
with a stay-on-case as well as a strap.
